Mojeek Partnership

Making Tech Greener

Mojeek wanted to house its servers in a data centre with green credentials. They also wanted to work with a reliable data centre. With 100% uptime, Custodian was the answer; a data centre with efficiency and the environment at its core. The infrastructure and processes minimise all impact on natural resources while optimising efficiencies and achieving unprecedented levels of conservation. The data centre uses five times less energy per kW of IT load compared to the average data centre.

Custodian operates an industry-leading fresh air cooling system which has aided in the data centre winning Green Data Centre accolade at the Datacentre Leaders Awards.

This, along with resilient power and diverse connectivity means the data centres PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) is 1.2 (annualised). The average data centre is 2.0, which means for every 1kW of IT load, they use another 1kW for electrical losses etc.

PUE is the current metric for measuring a data centres efficiency. With Custodian's PUE being 1.2, it's as efficient as you can get without losing any resilience in the process. This is why Custodian are the only colocation facility in the world to show their PUE live online.

Within Custodian's building and surrounding location, they utilise the following methods of reaching environmental potential:

Following extensive research, Custodian operates an industry-leading fresh air cooling system, built by our in-house teams. This approach only requires chillers for 5% of the year
